Last month we were visited by Sarah and Jackie of whom donated an amazing sum of £483.50 to the wards Lincolnshire NHS Charity charitable funds Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust
They also donated the same amount to the Headway Brain Injury Charity.

It was a pleasure to show them both around our new ward and to hear the story behind the calendar as explained below by them both

The idea to create a charity calendar was inspired by both Sarah and Jackie, aiming to raise funds to offer something pleasant for the ward and to enhance the days of both patients and staff. This initiative seeks to support our local facilities, catering to those in need of care, while also promoting happiness and alleviating stress. Having both worked in the care sector previously, we understand the challenges of providing even the simplest comforts. Therefore, by contributing to this worthy cause, we hope to bring a touch of joy with the monies we have donated.
Sarah also donated 30 fidgets devices for cognitive function and dexterity that staff and patients can use.
Thank you!

Meet Luna pictured here with Denise our trainee nurse associate. Luna came to ward today to visit ‘dad’ who is a patient on our ward
Dad walked the whole length of the ward to the day room to see Luna (that is after the staff let go! )
On Scotter Ward we encourage pets to visit it really boosts the patients to see their beloved pets and boosts their rehab and it’s great to see the smiles from other patients ….and the staff!! when they visit Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust
(Picture posted with consent of patient and wife and Luna! Who certainly enjoyed all the attention )

What lovely feedback Thank you from the team!! Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust

This week's goes to Scotter Ward at John Coupland Hospital in Gainsborough. 💚

“Excellent nursing and care teams who made time to talk to me. Communication about my treatment was excellent. The physio did excellent work to get me walking with a stick in a short period of time. My overall experience was excellent.”
